  • Patent number: 5165534
    Abstract: A packaging case for storing and presenting elongated objects, such as pencils (103, 704), and flat objects, such as computer disks (350, 604), includes a base (50, 606, 710) having a plurality of upright partitions (58, 622 and 630, 614, 626, 706 and 708, 712) hingedly attached thereto at spaced locations, and at least one shelf (68, 618, 714 and 715, 723 and 724) attached to the partitions. The shelves have openings (66, 620, 718, 722) for receiving the objects and holding them parallel to the partitions. When the partitions are upright, the objects are held upright. When the partitions are folded down, the objects and shelves will be close and parallel to the base so as to provide a very compact package for easy transportation and/or storage. The case can be closed by fold-over flaps or ends (56, 608, 610, 749) which are separate from or one piece extensions of the base. The partitions can be urged to their upright positions manually or by elastic bands (196, 636, 740) or springs (106).
